PARIS, July 9, 2014 /PRNewswire/ --

Aldebaran, the World leading humanoid robotics company, opened its first Atelier in Issy les Moulineaux a stone throw from Paris. As a space about discovery, interaction and learning. The Atelier is the very first facility of the brand open to the general public. It is fully dedicated to experimenting with our interactive, scalable and programmable humanoid robots: NAO and Pepper. This space has been designed for a wide audience, from expert professionals to geek developers as well as for the general public - the young, the families - for those who are curious about robotics or those who already are robotics lovers.

We believe in a future where sensitive and communicating robots will assist humans in their work, their home, their leisure activities, and their family life. Bruno Maisonnier, Founder and CEO of Aldebaran, points out that "Currently, our robots are exclusively found on the professional market. Our objective is for them to become accessible to the general public and our intention is to create a place where humans and robots can meet. The Atelier, with its'developers' space is also about generating new applications development ideas for our robots as well as paving the way to new business models."

As of September, the Workshop will offer a programme of special events with meetings, conferences and Ateliers for everyone from novices to experts.

The concept of the Ateliers is to be rolled out around the World as Aldebaran has already announced the forthcoming opening of two Ateliers in Tokyo, in partnership with SoftBank.

The Aldebaran's Atelier is distributed into three main spaces over a surface area of 260m2: The Discovery Space, the Learning Space and the Developers Space.

The Aldebaran's Atelier will be open from Tuesday to Saturday as of July 1st 2014
